SEDIMENT TRAP
A sediment trap shall be installed as close to the inlet of the water heater as practical at the time of water heater installation. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nip- ple in the bottom outlet or otherdevice recognizedas an effec-
tive sediment trap. If a tee fitting is used, it shall be installedin conformance with one of the methods of installation shown
below.
Connectin_ the gas piping to the gas control valve of the water heater can oe accomplished by either of the two methods shown.
&WARNING
Contaminants in the gas linesmay causeimproper operation of the gas control valve that may result in fire or explosion. Before attaching the gas line be sore that ell gas pipe is clean on the inside.To trap any dirt or foreign materiel in the gas supply line, a drip leg (sometimes called a sediment trap) must be incorporated in the piping. The drip leg must be
readily accessible.Install in accordance with the "Gas Piping" section. Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI 7.223.1,also referred to as NFPA 54.
